Hi CarrieC92,

We are thrilled that you are interested in applying for one of our 2011 Summer Institute.

In making these awards the Commission is looking not only for academic excellence but a focused application, a range of extracurricular and community activities, an indication of ambassadorial skills, a desire to further the Fulbright Programme and a plan to give back to your home country upon returning.

As you can imagine, our Summer Programmes are very popular and as a result extremely competitive. We can only offer a set number of places each year and as a result we have to disappoint many students. However, if you don’t apply then you won’t stand a chance of gaining a place. I encourage you to read the application instructions and FAQs very carefully when you make your application, and ensure that you include all the required application materials. This way you can ensure that you have given yourself the best chance possible. We encourage anyone eligible and interested to apply for our awards.

For more information about getting the best reference letters please follow this link: [US-UK Fulbright Commission](http://www.fulbright.co.uk/study-in-the-us/undergraduate-study/completing-an-application/reference-letters)

We look forward to receiving your application.
